This is the first official mint set issued by Lithuania. It features all eight of the new euro coins and celebrates the country's entry into the eurozone.

Designed by Antanas Žukauskas the Lithuanian euro coins bear the symbol of the Lithuanian national emblem Vytis, as was the wish of the majority of the Lithuanian population. This wish was discovered through a public opinion survey made by the Bank of Lithuania, which, having estimated the results of the survey, formulated the terms and conditions of the tender for the design of plaster models for the national side of euro coins.
